Vid: Caliban singing for his breakfast
I caught a short clip of Caliban doing his normal morning serenade for
FOOD. This is what I have to listen to, sometimes for hours, until it's time to feed him. It almost looks like the meows are forced out of him, he's trying to keep them in but one escapes now and then. Turn your speakers on very loud, his meow is tiny (and getting fainter all the time, since he is getting weaker and weaker from starvation, you know ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tY0QiTW40Qs -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |

In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. Awww. He has the *cutest* little round head and eyes. If you smooshed his ears down, he'd look like a Scottish fold. Bad idea. He certainly is persistant! But he asks so sweetly. Much nicer than Bosley, who decides if you're not going to feed him, he'll just get in front of you every step you take and make you fall down) Sherry |

Well, his mother walked the streets of Tallinn and we don't know who his father was, so who knows what he has in his lineage? He doesn't mind me messing with his ears. He's pretty tolerant in general. ;) He certainly is persistant! But he asks so sweetly. Much nicer than Bosley, who decides if you're not going to feed him, he'll just get in front of you every step you take and make you fall down) Heh, Caliban doesn't just sing for his breakfast. When he's not perched high up somewhere, mewing at me, he comes and walks over the keyboard and climbs onto my arm and walks back and forth on my neck and shoulders. And sits on the fingerprint sensor. :P -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |

He's pretty tolerant in general. ;) Speaking of not knowing what a cat has in his lineage reminded me of Nico, presently residing with my ex. A friend of my ex's had a sick cat and the vet said it might need a blood transfusion and practically any cat, moggie, would do as they usually have the same blood group. The friend asked my ex if she might borrow Nico for the transfusion, and as it wouldn't harm Nico in any way, my ex agreed to it. After the attempt at the transfusion, however, it turned out that Nico had blood type B, usually only found in pedigree kitties, and not the more common A. Nico is a rescue kitty, and AFAIR his mom was the cat of an elderly lady in the country who passed away, and the pregnant cat was taken to Helsinki by a relative of the old lady. All the cats in Nico's litter looked like him, bluish grey with some white here and there. So again a case of not knowing what he has in his lineage... :) I told my ex to write Nico's blood group into his papers, so he doesn't forget it if it someday becomes important. -- Christine in Laitila, Finland christal63 (at) gmail (dot) com photos: http://s208.photobucket.com/albums/bb108/christal63/ photos: http://community.webshots.com/user/chkr63 |

Susan M Otis and Chester I love that. Berfert also sounded like an "Opera singer gone to the dark side." Sometimes I miss his yowling for food, love, attention, entertainment, information, boredom, communication, and anything else that I left out. Huey is our singer. He goes into the bathroom where he can echo nicely and sings. I say in my smarmiest voice "Hi Huey" in the style of Deal or No Deal when the models greet Howie Mandel. Humm, I wonder if they'd let me bring Huey onto the show if I were to apply and get accepted for it. I'd have to list members of the cat group as part of my support system and maybe the show would fly them over to be with Rob and the kids for the taping. Now if I only wasn't so terrible at picking suitcases. . . Pam S. who has a rambling mind today |

Where Caliban's cry seems a pianissimo in volume, Mistletoe's starts at forte and quickly progresses to fortissimo! And hers continues until she's had the second bite. It's actually quite amusing listening to her complain about lack of food while she's chewing on the first bite! Sam, supervised by Mistletoe |

I can't remember if he has stripes on his tail... checking from photos well here's a tail shot of Nico's http://pets.webshots.com/photo/28248...65970501jFIPse ....and yes, there seem to be faint stripes...don't there? Btw, the mamacat was also bluish grey with white, just like the kittens, so maybe she's the one who has some Russian Blue in her lineage. -- Christine in Laitila, Finland christal63 (at) gmail (dot) com photos: http://s208.photobucket.com/albums/bb108/christal63/ photos: http://community.webshots.com/user/chkr63 |

Yes, that looks exactly like Mir's tail, but Nico's tail looks much shorter than the RBs I know. (LOL at the pic.) -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |

Nina has that sort of "you can't possibly scold anybody as cute as ME" kitten face too. Caliban is definitely shmooshable! You're lucky to be clear over in Finland or I'd have to catnap him. =o) Now feed that poor, starving widdle baby, Marina! Melissa |

Yes, that looks exactly like Mir's tail, but Nico's tail looks much shorter than the RBs I know. (LOL at the pic.) Nico's tail is shorter than Laku's, and thinner too. But I believe that Mir's tail is even longer than Laku's tho... I LOL'd when I saw that tail and part of the butt under the covers too, luckily he was sound asleep and didn't stir until I'd snapped the pic. -- Christine in Laitila, Finland christal63 (at) gmail (dot) com photos: http://s208.photobucket.com/albums/bb108/christal63/ photos: http://community.webshots.com/user/chkr63 |
